Overview of Metabolism01:40

Overview of Metabolism

38.6K
Living cells constantly carry out various chemical reactions which are necessary for their proper functioning. These reactions are interlinked to one another via multiple pathways. The collection of these chemical reactions is known as metabolism.
Plant Metabolism
Sunlight, the primary source of energy in plants, is first absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments present in their leaves. Plants then use this energy to carry out photosynthesis, where water is oxidized into oxygen and carbon dioxide...

Overview of Functional Groups

16.6K
Functional groups are a group of atoms with characteristic properties, which when linked to the carbon skeleton of a molecule, alter the properties of that molecule. For example, certain functional groups will make a molecule hydrophilic, whereas others will make them hydrophobic. These functional groups are an indispensable part of organic chemistry and important components of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each functional group is a unique...

Pharmacokinetics: Overview01:10

Pharmacokinetics: Overview

9.7K
Pharmacokinetics is a scientific discipline that focuses on the journey of a drug within the body, encompassing four key stages: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. The first stage, absorption, involves the drug's transfer into the bloodstream. Several factors dictate the extent and speed of this process. For example, the liver often metabolizes oral drugs before they reach systemic circulation, leading to only partial absorption. In contrast, intravenous (IV)...

Bioavailability: Overview01:13

Bioavailability: Overview

4.5K
Bioavailability refers to the proportion of an unaltered drug that, after administration, enters the systemic circulation and can be distributed to the desired action site. Factors such as gastrointestinal (GI) absorption and liver biotransformation influence the bioavailability of a drug when it is administered orally. When a drug is administered intravenously, it enters the systemic circulation directly; by definition, its bioavailability is assumed to be 100%. The bioavailability of an...

Uncertainty: Overview00:59

Uncertainty: Overview

1.8K
In analytical chemistry, we often perform repetitive measurements to detect and minimize inaccuracies caused by both determinate and indeterminate errors. Despite the cares we take, the presence of random errors means that repeated measurements almost never have exactly the same magnitude. The collective difference between these measurements - observed values - and the estimated or expected value is called uncertainty. Uncertainty is conventionally written after the estimated or expected value.

Potentiometry: Overview01:06

Potentiometry: Overview

4.6K
Potentiometry is an analytical technique that measures the potential difference between two electrodes in an electrochemical cell without drawing any significant current that could alter the solution's composition. This method employs an indicator electrode, which exchanges electrons with the analyte solution, and a reference electrode with a constant potential. Each electrode is immersed in a solution comprised of two half-cells. In a conventional setup, the reference electrode serves as...

Area of Science:

  • Psycho-oncology as an evolving subspecialty within oncology.
  • Focus on psychological, social, and behavioral factors in cancer care.

Background:

  • Limited scientific inquiry into psychological and social aspects of cancer until recently.
  • Growth driven by public demand for improved quality of life in cancer care.

Observation:

  • Psycho-oncology integrates clinical skills (counseling, behavioral interventions) into oncology.
  • Development of training curricula and research in psycho-oncology is expanding.
  • Recognition of psychological, social, and behavioral variables' impact on treatment outcomes.

Findings:

  • Psycho-oncology addresses patient and family psychosocial responses to cancer.
  • It investigates psychobiological factors influencing cancer morbidity and mortality.
  • The field is overcoming obstacles like limited clinicians and research methods.

Implications:

  • Psycho-oncology is achieving subspecialty status.
  • Future research will focus on collaborative biological and psychosocial investigations.
  • Emphasis on quality of life, psychotherapeutic, behavioral, and cross-cultural studies.
